Bit of a false dichotomy.
Surely there's a bunch of people who are familiar with Burning Man from photos and videos online but haven't attended personally.
- perl4ever 7y agoI imagine you could argue the opposite just as easily. I first heard of it many years ago, but seeing a few photos doesn't mean someone is "familiar" with it from an anthropological perspective. Especially since presumably it's changed a lot over the years.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoRight. I just meant that if you’ve read about it, it probably ain’t thoroughly alien to you.
- omarchowdhury 7y agoNot conceptually, but certainly experientially.
- perl4ever 7y agoI've read about Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (and seen pictures)...I would say they're still thoroughly alien to me...
